Paper written with Guillaume Helleu for the research journal Multitudes, which appeared in November 2021. Translated from French by Aviva Cashmira Kakar.
Résumé
This paper explores the issues concerning blockchain technologies within the realm of the creative (art, design, video games, etc.), which have arisen since the development of non-fungible tokens (or NFTs) in 2015. NFTs are essentially the production of a decentralized digital certificate that is impossible to forge, which is then linked to a numerical or tangible entity. NFTs have emerged into the mainstream since the beginning of 2021 due to a massive surge in sales and the development of specified marketplaces. NFTs have brought to the fore a variety of issues concerning value, circulation, and the exposure of artistic and cultural productions.

Paper written with Guillaume Helleu for the journal AOC, which appeared in September 2022. Translated from French by Aviva Cashmira Kakar.
Résumé
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) appeared in 2017. They are tamper-proof decentralized digital certificates which have gained fame because of their appropriation by the art world. NFTs have attracted a great deal of controversy, and are frequently accused of being speculative, useless and polluting. We propose to examine these polemics, founded for the most part, in order to show that other approaches are possible. In fact, artistic applications are merely one link in the chain, and NFTs cannot be reduced to their mere visible aspect, they require a wider examination of their value systems, distribution chains, and methods of governance.

Résumé
Emerging in 2017, NFTs ( Non Fungible Tokens ), are un-forgeable, decentralised certificates that have become famous through their use in the art world. While this usage is what has brought them media attention, they actually are simply one part of a far wider technological movement often marketed as &8220;Web3&8221; 1 Appeared with Ethereum as a response to the Web 2.0 of the GAFAM, the Web3 proposes an all-in-one ecosystem: a monetary system ( Bitcoin ) within an economic […]Notions
